Rock for Peace: sponsored by Peace Gardeners

the problem:

My project wants to raise money to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan through the Central Asia Institute.

vital stats:

people impacted:

1,000

people involved:

200

why it's important:

It is important to me because not only are we in a war with Afghanistan but there are women and children who want/need education but don't have access to it. They could have a school and education for a very low cost. If you want a peaceful tomorrow; educate women. "When you educate women, you educate a village"- Greg Mortenson

the plan of action:

My plan of action is to hold a Rock for Peace music festival in my community. It is my plan to get the whole ccounty involved. We will have local music, silent auctions, various art sales and sponsoship from local businesses.

how you can get involved:

1. Donate money
2. Donate an item to the silent auction
3. If you are familiar with accquiring permits, help me out1
4. If you have a band, audition!
5. Help at the actual event
